Minimum Salary Increases for Type B in Belgium

November 29, 2011— Effective January 1, 2012, the minimum base salary for highly skilled foreign workers applying for Type B work permits in Belgium will increase to €37,721, and the minimum base salary for senior management or executive-level positions will increase to €62,934. Foreign nationals applying trainees are exempt from the minimums.

The Ministry of Employment and Labor reviews minimum salary requirements for Belgian work permits annually. The minimums are generally enforced by the regional employment authorities where the work permit application is filed. Once the new salary levels take effect on January 1, new and renewal work permit applications that fail to evidence the new minimums will be rejected.
